Know about the book -

Communication, Meaning and Misconceptions is written by Karol Janicki and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3031525051 (ISBN 10) and 9783031525056 (ISBN 13).

This book covers several related topics anchored in the idea of how meaning is created. The central focus in the book is, however, on how language awareness may help us communicate smoothly and solve social problems. The book takes up language misconceptions and their social significance, and promotes the view that regarding meaning (and language in general) as open and flexible, rather than closed and rigid, may lead to critical thinking, innovation, and creativity. The book covers topics such as words and things, words and emotions, fake news and hate speech, and it has been written in the form of short informal dialogues to engage readers and make linguistic concepts accessible.
